A combination of physical distancing measures, if implemented early, can be effective in containing COVID-19—tight border controls to limit importation of cases, encouraging physical distancing, moderately stringent measures such as working from home, and a full lockdown in the case of a probable uncontrolled outbreak.	cache/cord-300583-0krbrj4w.txt	txt/cord-300583-0krbrj4w.txt
